Mummy was a person once.

I’ve been sorting out the contents of an old planchest (because we cannot afford to keep on hiring a garage to store stuff we haven’t looked at for seven years!). Anyway I found this old polaroid of me – almost faded to white so I’ve used some Photoshop trickery to bring back some colour. I like all the scuffs and fingerprints so I’ve kept those. My darling son Tom said ‘When I look at all this stuff it makes me realise that you were a person once’. I know what he means. I am so subsumed in what I am to other people, it can be difficult to be me. Anyway a lot of my future posts will be scans of old work that will just have to have a virtual existence from now on.
